Histoire
John Perry did two things on his 75th birthday. First he visited his wife's grave. Then he joined the army. The good news is that humanity finally made it into interstellar space. The bad news is that planets fit to live on are scarce—and alien races willing to fight us for them are common. So: we fight. To defend Earth, and to stake our own claim to planetary real estate. Far from Earth, the war has been going on for decades: brutal, bloody, unyielding. Earth itself is a backwater.

Histoire
Welcome to Ringworld, an intermediate step between Dyson Spheres and planets. The gravitational force created by a rotation on its axis of 770 miles per second means no need for a roof. Walls 1,000 miles high at each rim will let in the sun and prevent much air from escaping. Larry Niven's novel, Ringworld, is the winner of the 1970 Hugo Award for Best Novel, the 1970 Nebula Award for Best Novel, and the 1972 Ditmars, an Australian award for Best International Science Fiction.

At first, only a few things are known about the celestial object that astronomers dub Rama. It is huge, weighing more than ten trillion tons. And it is hurtling through the solar system at inconceivable speed. Then a space probe confirms the unthinkable: Rama is no natural object. It is, incredibly, an interstellar spacecraft. Space explorers and planet-bound scientists alike prepare for mankind's first encounter with alien intelligence.

Ensign Andrew Dahl has just been assigned to the Universal Union Capital Ship Intrepid, flagship of the Universal Union since the year 2456. Life couldn’t be better…until Andrew begins to pick up on the facts that (1) every Away Mission involves some kind of lethal confrontation with alien forces; (2) the ship’s captain, its chief science officer, and the handsome Lieutenant Kerensky always survive these confrontations; and (3) at least one low-ranked crew member is, sadly, always killed.

In what is considered one of Heinlein's most hair-raising, thought-provoking, and outrageous adventures, the master of modern science fiction tells the strange story of an even stranger world. It is 21st-century Luna, a harsh penal colony where a revolt is plotted between a bashful computer and a ragtag collection of maverick humans, a revolt that goes beautifully until the inevitable happens. But that's the problem with the inevitable: it always happens.

Histoire
After Englishman John Blackthorne is lost at sea, he awakens in a place few Europeans know of and even fewer have seen—Nippon. Thrust into the closed society that is seventeenth-century Japan, a land where the line between life and death is razor-thin, Blackthorne must negotiate not only a foreign people, with unknown customs and language, but also his own definitions of morality, truth, and freedom. As internal political strife and a clash of cultures lead to seemingly inevitable conflict, Blackthorne’s loyalty and strength of character are tested by both passion and loss.

The year is 2108, and the North American Commonwealth is bursting at the seams. For welfare rats like Andrew Grayson, there are only two ways out of the crime-ridden and filthy welfare tenements: You can hope to win the lottery and draw a ticket on a colony ship settling off-world...or you can join the service. With the colony lottery a pipe dream, Andrew chooses to enlist in the armed forces for a shot at real food, a retirement bonus, and maybe a ticket off Earth.

Histoire
It was to be the war to end all wars, and it began at 11:15 on the morning of June 28, 1914, in an outpost of the Austro-Hungarian Empire called Sarajevo. It would officially end nearly five years later. Unofficially, however, it has never ended: Many of the horrors we live with today are rooted in the First World War. The Great War left millions of civilians and soldiers maimed or dead. It also saw the creation of new technologies of destruction: tanks, planes, and submarines; machine guns and field artillery; poison gas and chemical warfare.

Description
William Mandella is a soldier in Earth's elite brigade. As the war against the Taurans sends him from galaxy to galaxy, he learns to use protective body shells and sophisticated weapons. He adapts to the cultures and terrains of distant outposts. But with each month in space, years are passing on Earth. Where will he call home when (and if) the Forever War ends?
Narrator George Wilson's performance conveys all the imaginative technology and human drama of The Forever War. Set against a backdrop of vivid battle scenes, this absorbing work asks provocative questions about the very nature of war.

Awesome sci-fi
This story has aged remarkably well, given that it was written about half a century ago. The allegory to the experience of soldiers going to war and coming home to an unrecognizable society that doesn’t know what to do with them, and the feeling of no belonging and not knowing how to reintegrate are still very relevant. The science holds up reasonably well, and certainly better than a lot of the “sci”-fi out there.

Groundbreaking to the point of seeming unoroginal
The Forever War brought a new sensibility to military SF that has been so influential that it seems quite run of the mill now. Informed by Haldeman's service in Vietnam it looks at what service in a war without clear purpose feels like for those fighting it. It also looks at what it does to a society and how time away from home results in returning service members feeling alienated. Time dilation is used to make those changes really pronounced as society moves on without the service members who can never fit in when they return. Some comments criticize the discussion of homosexuality and portrayal of gay characters but it was very progressive when it was written. It's still very matter of fact and doesn't vilify. It clearly shows its the characters attitudes about the sexuality of others that is the problem, not the sexuality. But that is hardly a main theme anyway and anyone who focuses on that is obtuse. I only mention it because it come up in other reviews.
The reading is fine. It's clear and well-paced, though it does lack some pizazz. I've read the book many times and this was a new way to experience a favourite novel from a favourite writer.i am well satisfied.

a classic that manages to age mostly gracefully
for it's time, the perspective on homosexuality and gender was revolutionary. I read it originally 20 years ago and it gave me hope. now, reading it, the mild homophobia and sexism stand out more. I wonder if it was specific, to does to the "everyman" so they'd be more receptive to the theme. or just a product of the author's bias. still enjoyable sci fi reminiscent of Ellison, & Heinlein
